Students and guardians will need to be patient as the website has a history of crashing due to site traffic during the first weeks of the opening. If you hear of students having problems logging into the site or it crashing while completing the FAFSA you might suggest that they try to complete it early in the morning or late in the evening.
End of January: The Department of Education announced that student's FAFSA submissions will not be provided to their selected colleges until the end of January 2024.
